Northern Kentucky erupts with new life in spring, with vibrant flowers and trees blossoming in the mild sunshine. A luxury Bed and Breakfast in Kentucky is the perfect place to stay for a springtime getaway. A private suite in a historic Federal Home, Log Cabin, or Garden Cottage is the best place to revitalize yourself as you welcome the season.
Spring also marks the time when the event calendar kicks off for the year, making late-April and May the ideal time to explore the region.
Zoo Blooms at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden – Daily Until April 30
This annual event is a gorgeous exploration of color, nature, and fresh spring aroma. Held at the historic Cincinnati Botanic Garden & Zoo, there are more than 100,000 tulips in a rainbow of colors that erupt each year. Daffodils, native trees, shrubs, and bulbs of all kinds are in bloom.
It’s perfect for a leisurely stroll in the mild spring weather, and a must-do activity if you’re already planning to visit the Cincinnati Zoo.

Maifest in Covington, Kentucky – May 15 to 17
The annual manifest is one of Northern Kentucky’s most beloved springtime events. The festivities include drinks, food, crafts, live music, entertainment, and shopping. It’s an all-ages event that offers everything from kids’ activities to German Beer and Wine Tasting. It leans heavily on the region’s German roots, and is one of the best opportunities to browse local arts, crafts, and antiques if you’re visiting from out of town.
It’s held at Goebel Park, just 22 minutes from Willis Graves Luxury Bed and Breakfast in Kentucky.
Mermaids at Newport Aquarium – May 23 to June 21
From Late May to June, the Newport Aquarium will host its Mermaids event. The aquarium is home to more than 20,000 different sea creatures, and in late spring, it will also host something more mythological.
Mermaids will be in the water and around the aquarium to swim with tropical fish, chat with guests, and take photos. It’s a perfect day out if you are visiting with children. The mermaids are ambassadors for conservation, helping to teach guests about marine wildlife and the protection of our estuaries.
The Newport Aquarium is a short 25-minute drive from Willis Graves Bed and Breakfast in Kentucky. The staff at our historic lodge can assist with directions and tips to make the most of your visit to Newport.
